Abstract (en)

[origin: GB2359069A] A crimping and decapping tool comprises a tubular handle structure 12 wherein a mechanically operated valve 16 and distribution block 11 supply pressure fluid to a compression chamber 17 to move a piston 13 with a slidable plunger and so force a pivoted bell crank lever 10 to actuate a crimping and decapping unit. The tubular handle structure may comprise means 18, 19 for actuating said valve. The handle structure may be at an angle to the crimping and decapping unit. The pressure may be created by pneumatic or hydraulic means from a remote source and can be controlled by a remotely operated valve. The crimping and decapping unit may be of the collet-chuck type having a plurality of radially displaceable jaws 29 and an axially displacable punch 37 for displacing the jaws.
